Let’s celebrate the dress.
National Dress Day is Saturday, and while it may not be the most recognized day of the year, the dress deserves a heap of praise and recognition.
Not only is it easy to wear, there’s also one for every occasion from a backyard pool party to a professional workplace to a cocktail party. And let’s not forget the much-heralded little black dress that can go just about everywhere.
Much of the appeal of a dress is that it’s a one-and-done look. No mixing or matching tops and bottoms. At the same time, it can be versatile. Slip on a fitted jacket or sweeping duster for a different look. Add a belt, scarf or layers of necklaces for a quick update.
Dresses are memorable, too. Is there a woman who doesn’t remember the dress she wore to prom? And no fan of red-carpet fashion can forget Bjork’s iconic swan dress at the Academy Awards in 2001 or Kacey Musgraves in head-to-toe layers of pink tulle in 2019.
“Dresses are inclusive to all body shapes and sizes and universally flattering for all,” said Crystal Bland, owner of Milo & Lily, an Oklahoma City-based online boutique with a showroom in Yukon. “In one piece of clothing, a dress has the ability to make a woman feel confident, comfortable and chic. Dresses are like magic.”
Charlet Sauls, owner of Boutique One in Nichols Hills Plaza, is a fan, too. There’s a flattering style for everyone and fabrics and details are endless.
“Dresses are the best,” she said, adding they’ve stood the test of time and gone through many remakes from the early Renaissance years to modern times. Through it all, dresses have been amazing.
